R53 Cooper JCW La Mosa

History:

Kept it as I got it until 2013, when a subpar mechanic replaced a broken chain tensioner without pulling the broken tensioner bits out of the oil pan. That led to an engine replacement, mods and it's nickname "La Mosa" which my Colombian wife came up with meaning; "the mistress that I spend all of my money on..."
